BM Brownie 60L

BM Brownie is a full lace BM bra. It is brown with a berry colored larger bow at the gore. It has a sheer black liner to the cups. The lace is the exact same as BM Croptop Topaz, but Topaz has an opaque beige liner to the cups instead. I ordered this bra and 3 others from MagdaBras4you, who provides exceptional customer service. Basically if it is a Polish brand of lingerie, she can get it.

Now for measurements:

All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.

The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 28”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16.5”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The wires used were the lazy J wires that are typically found in the SF style instead of the standard U wires that are found in the BMs. This makes them 6.25” wide instead of the 6”, and also pulls the cups more under the armpit, and the straps more wide set.


The removable paper label was mislabeled as an SF style. The bra is definitely the BM style without the SF stiffness, so it was just a labeling mishap.

As for fit,
Like my other 60L BMs this one could stand to be a bit smaller as the cups are spacious. Unfortunately the cup size down is too small for me at the moment, so I feel that I am technically between sizes for the BM style. As the 60KK is painfully small in the cup, I will take these at a bit big and yet comfortable happily over the pain. The wide set straps (and lazy J wires) do make the strap meet some arm resistance, so I get a bit of upper cup wrinkle near the strap. The fit would look a bit better, but as you can see, I was slouching in the photos. :-/ This isn’t a problem for me, as it won’t be noticeable under my sweatshirts and doesn’t affect the comfort or support.

This bra is not owned any more

    From looking at the cup shape, this looks a bit too closed and tall on you. It’s too bad but it’s nice the support is still there.

  • As long as it's comfortable and doesn't cause any pain, I'm happy with it at the moment. But yes, it isn't a perfect fit.

    My nipples actually sit at the seam instead of the upper lace section (where they normally do) and it almost tacks, so it's one of those few steps forward, few steps back situations, haha.

    This is a really pretty bra despite some of the fit issues.

    Oh it's beautiful!

  • It really is brasaremean. Something about the earthy tones for me lately. I just love them. 💚

    btw I always thought nipples should sit at the seam otherwise the bra is too small! How wrong was I?

    brasaremean I think it all depends on where it's situated?

    I really do love this bra (mine are in Miami, so I'm hoping by next week I get it)

  • My nipples almost always sit above that seam, but that doesn't mean you're incorrect. My bras also never tack, which is also supposed to mean too small. I'm happy if it's within a finger's width if tacking. Maybe my bras have always been too small?

    brasaremean my nipples are never at the seam unless I go down like 3-4 cup sizes. It depends on the person.

    Frazzleberry Woohoo! I hope they fit you perfectly! 💕

    Thanks.

    Frazzleberry i think it depends on if you are full on top or in bottom. The seam should sit just below your fullest point generally, although different bras have different bust points.

    Aaah, kk. That makes sense

    cupandahalf that makes me sad, I’ll never find a bra short enough.

  • 1

    I feel like Goldilocks again, haha. One too small (short?) and the next size up too big (tall?) 😖 Where is the just right bra?!? Do we need to go for a walk through the forest in search of it, Sovavosi? 🌲🌲🌲

  • 1

    Sovavosi I feel ya. There are few bras that make my size and none that make my shape. And I’ve grown again so now I think I’m more in the 40K range. :(

    cupandahalf I’m so sorry ☹️
